The Encore is a conical burr coffee grinder that offers the versatility to grind beans for many brewing methods. The weight (8 pounds) of this grinder offers extra stability and the on/off switch makes it easy to use for your daily cup of joe. Coffee industry experts have tested the Encore for filter brewing and found that it produced a cup that was “head and shoulders” above other domestic grinders. The Encore does not produce excessive fines which can produce bitter tasting coffee.
Conical Burrs: Manufactured in Europe, the 40 mm conical burrs will grind for any style of coffee. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding
Steps of Adjustment: The Encore has 40 steps of adjustment. Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position
Calibration System: Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine to coarse. Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use. An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.
DC Motor: A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
Speed Control: The Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
Gearbox: In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0, Baratza has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission while decreasing noise. In addition to a new drive shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this change includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than the prior metal gear, wears better and is more shock resistant. During the Encore’s rigorous testing process, stainless steel screws were thrown into the burrs, and in every case the motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the (automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was triggered, and the gears were fine.
On-off Switch: The Encore has an easy on-off switch
Pulse Button: A front mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind directly into an espresso filter basket. After you remove the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket (portafilter) directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. You can push the pulse button with your thumb while holding the filter basket for true one hand operation.

Have had this grinder for about a year now with no issues at all.Makes a perfect drip grind for me at a 19 setting.I was using a blade grinder for the previous several years,what a difference! I wish I would have had this grinder before!

3 years and going strong. Love the adjustable grind. Sometimes I use a single cup stainless steel filter, full pot with paper filter, or French Press. I can custom grind for each situation. Love it.

Works awesome! Been home roasting roughly 7 years now and was using a Krups small herb grinder to grind my beans. I can’t believe I waited so long to purchase a real official coffee grinder, numerous settings for whatever grind one may desire. If you’re going to spend the time, money and effort to home roast then by all means, don’t skimp and buy a real made for coffee grinder. Simple to use and clean.

Awesome grinder, easy to use, clean and adjust to desired grind size. After home roasting for 7+ years I finally wised up and purchased a “real” grinder. Previously I was using a small Krups herb grinder which was messy and very inconsistent in grind size. If you’re going to spend the time, effort, and money home roasting then this grinder is a must have.

The grinder seems awesome, so far. Came in UPS after one day, excellent turnaround! Free shipping and a free lb of coffee were a nice bonus; I’ll admit I wouldn’t have bought it from anyone else but Burman. My 20yr old manual Zassenhaus grinder will be backup from now on.

I recommend this grinder wholeheartedly.
I bought my grinder from the Burmans so long ago that the order is no longer in my history; it’s gotta be at least 8 years old. I have never, ever, ever had one moment’s bit of problem with it, and it’s used every day, at least once. Furthermore, because I’m an American working in Europe, I use with with a step-up transformer.
I have had to replace the collar a couple of times and the ring burr holder once, but neither are expensive and the Baratza customer support folks were fantastic. I appreciate that they carry parts on their website; so many other manufacturers would simply expect a person to replace the appliance.
